Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Belgianclaret]

Barkley would be a real coup for a club like us, but unlikely I think

[Firthy]

On the radio that Barkley is desperate to go out on loan but there haven't been any offers in for him.

Does that include us

[CnBtruntru]

Well that's us done for this transfer period, don't think we done bad, 9/10 Well Done Mr Pace and Co. Night everyone.

[Pearcey]

Does that include us

Being that they said there have been no offers then I’d say yes. Hopefully we’ll offer one soon though.

[RVclaret]

8/10 for me. 1 signing that improves the first 11 immediately. But we’ve done some astute business. Would have liked to see a different creative option going forward but time seems to be against us now.

[Grumps]

[ŽižkovClaret]

Sima to Brighton is a weird one. Ripped up trees last season at Slavia, then faded massively and didn't really show much this season so far.

Now moved for 6.75 (was rumoured to have an asking price of 20m at the peak of Sima fever last season although that wasn't realistic)

Now he's been shipped out to Stoke on loan, the poor sod

With his style of play he might suffer the same fate as Vokes, but i hope not.

You know, the more i think about this, the more i wonder if we could/should have been in for him. Especially if he was willing to come in for that sort of money then be loaned out to the championship......

He's only been a pro for 18 months though so even at 7m or so its a risk

[CFS]

That Fabio said we were interested in cucarella who Brighton got today?

Would of preferred him over cornet.

[Froobs]

Matter of pride for the arabian PSG owners. Money no object for basically Quatar FC

220 mil means naff all

[JarrowClaret]

Chris Boden has been spectaculary wrong on Burnley news several times.

He ran articles saying we definately werent signing Defour and Barton.

Alan Nixon also got Defour wrong, his words were to foreign and expensive for us.

[TsarBomba]

Just missing that little bit of creativity in this window - Cornet alone won’t suddenly make us score a lot of goals.

I am pleased with the young RB though - a bit unnerving to hear him say (paraphrasing) that he isn’t very good but runs a lot, yet I find that refreshingly self-deprecating and I suspect we’ll find him to have decent quality after all.

A lot of pressure on Wood still though, and I mean a lot.

That’s the case for most of the ‘other 14’. Look at Wolves last season with Jiminez.

If we don’t manage to recruit a cm/cam, then it won’t be through lack of trying. The signing of Cornet gives us the option to play McNeil in that 10 though, doesn’t it? With JBG out right?

This window has been phenomenal, and beyond all of our expectations. We’re clearly trying to right the wrongs of the last 6/7/8 windows, but it was fanciful to think we could do it all this summer.

[Froobs]

File under someone is having a giraffe. Their day job is spamming folk into giving up their bank details

So there is a 70/30 chance in our favour

[claptrappers_union]

It’s not about being ‘wrong’, journalists from local papers don’t make predictions.

it will mean assists come through each wing rather than 1 and therefore giving the opposition more to think about and stop them putting 2-3 players on Dwight, which may free him up more also.

[RicardoMontalban]

Boden knows no more than any of us

Not sure why people think Boden, working for the local paper, is in a position to post every morsel he knows. Bridges burnt before he can press ‘publish’ if that happens.

I expect he can be in quite a frustrating position at times, knowing stuff that he can’t possibly publish and having to respond to queries with his limited range of stock answers. The rules of engagement are totally different for a local reporter, as opposed to some sky news hack who can basically throw it all at the wall and see what sticks.

[Les Lawrence]

Thanks for clearing that up for me

[TsarBomba]

Jack Hendry has gone to Club Brugge.

[Wokingclaret]

Lookman on loan at Leicester my colleague says

[PremierLeagueClass]

When’s the deadline for players moving out on loan to lower league clubs? Richardson, Mancini may be going out on loan now we’ve padded the squad out?

[Woodleyclaret]

We cant afford anyone leaving we need Mancini and Richardson to push on with first team roles.Sean just needs to trust them with time on the pitch not using them as bench warmers

LATE MOVE FOR BARKLEY?

Burnley have made a move to sign Ross Barkley on loan, report The Sun.

Barkley hasn't featured so far for Chelsea this season and looks set to fall down the pecking order further with the arrival of Saul Niguez

When will they report that he has completed the Hokey Cokey and turned around..?

I feel that is that toilet paper reporting news from earlier as clickbait.

[JimmyRobbo]

'Put me down in that awkward place of not wanting Barklay because I don't think he is a good footballer and we cannot afford him to be a passenger. By 'good footballer', I mean he has all the skills but cannot put it together.

I see him as a useful sub when we are chasing a game. He can come on and change the dynamic. That, for me, does not warrant massive wages. I'd rather wait.

'Awkward place' for me because I would be pleased with the intent it shows to sign someone like him. It would give the place some energy, in that regard.

Overall, I just don't want him given the expense.

[Vegas Claret]

Fabrizio Romano just said Barkley not likely (as expected)

[CrosspoolClarets]

it will mean assists come through each wing rather than 1 and therefore giving the opposition more to think about and stop them putting 2-3 players on Dwight, which may free him up more also.

No doubt we have added to our creativity, two players on the right flank who will come straight into our starting lineup after a brief settling in period, and Roberts set up a huge number of chances last season in the league below. That’s why I was being tongue in cheek about him implying he is just a runner, he must be more creative than, say, Lowton.

I still think huge pressure on Wood though, mainly because his three mates don’t score many and neither do our widemen.

A very good window because it has addressed 4 glaring weaknesses, two in the first team and two if a key first team member is injured. Not a sensational window, but a very good one.

[claptrappers_union]

Maybe Alan Pace is reading Twitter and just bidding on players that catches the imagination of fans.

Can we get Jean Louis Valois trending?

Do try and keep up.

[AlargeClaret]

Being reported Barkley deal “ not happening “ as is the juve thing and AMN going nowhere

[Vegas Claret]

Fabrizio also just said no way on Weston McKenzie

So unless we have a late bid in for someone not mentioned it sounds like that's it for us

[claretandy]

I wonder if we are playing the long game with barkley in order to get a better deal on his wages, currently no-one else is linked with him.

[ClaretAL]

Do try and keep up.

With who? i see what Boden has said but you never know? maybe we should tell SSN to keep up? I think you will find I have spent many hours trying to bring in all the conjecture, bo!!ocks or not as soon as I see it to this thread in an effort to keep all informed.

[IanMcL]

The signing of Cornet gives us the option to play McNeil in that 10 though, doesn’t it? With JBG out right?

I think you have nailed it with that one.

[Pearcey]

Unless one comes out of nowhere then I think this could be us done. Brilliant window leaving in us in a much healthier position than we were last season.

Hopefully we’ll stay injury free but if we don’t it isn’t going to hurt us too much. UTC.

[IanMcL]

This is the first time in years we can tune into Sky Transfer prog with purpose!

I wonder if Mr Pace does interviews from his car window?

[claptrappers_union]

Surprises me, you’d Everton, Southampton or Crystal Palace would want him.

How are you going to get past that you’ll need to £100,000 a week though for the player who’s not match fit.

[Froobs]

Hope he signs now barkley
Few touchy comments on here unnecessarily

[claptrappers_union]

He’s earning an obscene amount of money, and his contract runs out in 2023… he’s doing right staying at Chelsea.

Burnley can’t afford him. And if we did sign him, look forward to being the next Bradford, Portsmouth or Bolton in ten years time

[claretandy]

Didn't stop us signing Drinkwater.

[ClaretTony]

I might be wrong but I’m not convinced we even have an interest in him.

[Pearcey]

Just over 3 hours until this thread slams shut! What are we going to talk about after this? We don’t even have a game this weekend!

Are the Ivory Coast on telly?

[AlargeClaret]

One thing is for sure if the unlikely Barkley deal comes off , he’s a class player was above a Drinkwater that’s for sure

[ŽižkovClaret]

Thing with these loan deals for players on huge wages, they have to go down to the wire as Chelsea would be squeezing as big a contribution as possible out of the interested club

[claptrappers_union]

Didn't stop us signing Drinkwater.

Look how much money we spaffed up the wall with that deal… I know you can’t predict the future, and getting jumped in a club can happen to anyone. But you need to invest correctly. He was never going to be match fit for returning even if he didn’t get attacked. Much better off with Brownhill

[Jakubclaret]

I might be wrong but I’m not convinced we even have an interest in him.

According to talksport nobody's made an offer for him at all.

[claretblue]

When will they report that he has completed the Hokey Cokey and turned around..?

that's what it's all about Darthlaw!

[joey13]

I might be wrong but I’m not convinced we even have an interest in him.

If Dyche had gotten wind of his antics at Villa then there’s no chance of us being interested

[Froobs]

Id of had tommy doyle though

[claretblue]

I might be wrong but I’m not convinced we even have an interest in him.

so...Mr Pace is 'freezing-you-out' CT

Welcome to Turf Moor Ross!

[joey13]

McNeil is 2 yrs younger, his contract runs until 2024 with the option of a further year.
Dan James' contract ran until 2024

Dwight McNeil is first choice, played twice the amount of games for us as James did for Utd.

McNeil will step up when he leaves, James has stepped down.

These details matter.

How has James stepped down he’s signed for the biggest club in the world
